After a good night's sleep, Gu Qianqing got up early, went for a run, met Cheng Lin in the hotel lobby, went back to the room, packed a backpack, and then headed to the village below the town together.
It was just after breakfast that the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law were sitting at the end of Lijia Village sunbathing. A group of people were chatting and laughing, and Gu Qianqing and Cheng Lin bumped into them.
"Hey, where are you from?"
Gu Qianqing originally wanted to walk straight through and ask people when she got to the village, but unexpectedly these ladies started asking questions themselves. Out of politeness, Gu Qianqing was about to speak.
Cheng Lin spoke before her, "We are here to visit relatives. Do you know Yu Qiuyue? We are her friends and we happen to be working here. We stopped by to see her."
Yu Qiuyue is the widow's name.
Several people looked at each other after hearing it.
One of the women stood up and said, "Come with me. Many people are coming to see her. They are very annoying. She doesn't want to stay any longer. It's a coincidence that you are here. In a few days, you may not be able to see her."
Already."
The mother-in-law led the way, followed by Gu Qianqing and Cheng Lin.
In order to hide his identity, Cheng Lin dressed up in a slovenly manner. He looked several years older and looked nothing like a young man covered in tendons.
The scarf covered half of Gu Qianqing's face, and the hat covered her hair. She was dressed like a village girl.
"You must be her classmates. She said that she had several good friends in the past."
"No, we are from her family. She took good care of us when we were young. After something happened to her family, we thought of a visit, but we didn't expect that it would take so long."
Gu Qianqing looked at the direction her mother-in-law was leading, and kept going further and further. The information Zhou Quan gave her said that Yu Qiuyue lived in the middle of Lijia Village. The house at home was well built, but now her mother-in-law
They were almost leading them through Lijia Village to the next village.
Gu Qianqing felt a little wary.
"Auntie, just take us here. We have already called her and she said she will come to pick us up in a moment."
The aunt didn't want to and was very enthusiastic, "It's just ahead. It's worth the two steps there. Let's go. I have nothing to do."
"No."
Gu Qianqing gave Cheng Lin a wink, and the two of them turned into a fork in the road. The aunt followed her and asked sincerely, "You two young men, do you think that I am a liar? Ouch,
I'm an old woman, what can I do to you? Our village may not be big, but it's not small at all. You are here to visit relatives. If you get lost, it's just a joke. Let's go, people will be ahead."
Gu Qianqing pretended not to hear, and she and Cheng Lin quickened their pace. After a while, they fell behind. When they reached a deserted place, they realized that the village was eerily quiet.
Before Zhou Quan's father came, Lijia Village was a poor and backward village. However, after Zhou Quan's father came, he led the villagers of Lijia Village to plant fruit trees according to local conditions. Now there are many pear trees on the roadside.
Entering the east, the branches stood there desolately.
Logically speaking, Lijiacun is much richer.
But at this time, the doors of every house were closed, and except for the few people I met at the head of the village, I didn't meet anyone else walking all the way in.
"We won't encounter ghosts."
Gu Qianqing felt horrified that in broad daylight, she had such suspicion for no reason. As soon as this thought came out, Gu Qianqing herself was frightened.
Cheng Lin was tall and could see far away. On the other side of several collapsed earth walls, smoke was rising from cooking. Cheng Lin took the lead and walked over, "Go and have a look over there."
Walking around to the door of a house, the pot was simply set up, with only wooden sticks surrounding half of it to block the wind. A woman in home pajamas filled the pot with firewood.
"Excuse me--"
The woman turned around.
Gu Qianqing stopped suddenly. Although the woman was very different from the one in the photo, she recognized the woman in front of her at first sight as Yu Qiuyue.
only--
Gu Qianqing looked at the simple conditions. Even before Zhou Quan's father came, Yu Qiuyue probably lived better than this.
"Are you here about the Zhou family's affairs?"
Yu Qiuyue pointed it out straightforwardly.
Gu Qianqing said yes.
"You go back. The truth of the matter is exactly as you heard. There are many people coming to see me these days. I am tired. I just want to live a peaceful life now. I hope you will not come to disturb me again."
"
"Miss Yu..."
Cheng Lin would not ask about this matter. He came here simply to be a bodyguard, so he stood guard while Gu Qianqing followed Yu Qiuyue, trying to stop her.
But the other party's attitude was very cold, and it seemed that she really didn't want to mention it again.
"Mother."
On the bed in the narrow room, a little boy rubbed his eyes and got out of bed, calling for his mother. Yu Qiuyue bent down and picked him up.
He was a child of five or six years old, but he looked small and skinny, and was only as old as Yu Anan. Gu Qianqing stood at the door for a while.
The little boy took out his head from Yu Qiuyue's arms, looked at Gu Qianqing curiously, and asked, "Mom, who is that?"
"Guest, he will leave in a moment."
Gu Qianqing walked to Cheng Lin dejectedly. She was an orphan and a widower, so she couldn't force him to tell what happened back then.
But I'm afraid only Yu Qiuyue knows the truth of the matter.
When Gu Qianqing and Cheng Lin left, they saw the woman who led them at the fork in the road again, "Have you seen anyone?"
"Yes, my mother-in-law is also from Lijia Village. How come she doesn't know where Yu Qiuyue's family lives?" Gu Qianqing held up her hat and looked at the mother-in-law with her eyes exposed.
The face is not easy to get along with, it is a typical face shape.
The intrusion of time has left traces of ravines on her face, and the corners of her mouth are curled up.
"Don't lie to me. He's the one who came here to clear away the sins of the Zhou family. We can never cleanse ourselves of the mistakes that Zhou made. In the past, he was so powerful that we couldn't scold him, but it's different now.
, Feng shui takes turns, and those who harm others must pay the price."
Gu Qianqing clasped her gloved hands in front of her.
"You keep saying that he has made mistakes. As far as I know, he is considered rich and powerful. If he really cares about Qiuyue, why is the place where Qiuyue lives now so simple, even her husband's small building?
No more."
The mother-in-law raised her eyebrows and said, "It's not that Zhou is tired of her, she is willing to move out because she feels shameless to see her as the head of the family. Forget it, it's a waste of time for me to talk to those of you who are colluding with Zhou."
, leave quickly, you are not welcome here!"
Gu Qianqing and Cheng Lin returned to the hotel in the town. On the first day, although they did not expect to find out anything, they did not expect to return empty-handed.
The people of Lijia Village are united and want to kill Zhou Quan's father for doing something wrong, but the person involved is unwilling to recall it. So this is the end of the road and there is no way out?
Gu Qianqing didn't want to give up so easily, so she read Yu Qiuyue's personal information again, and combined it with the people she met today, one by one, and this search really allowed her to find some.
Yu Qiuyue was very beautiful when she was young, and there were many people pursuing her. Another one of them was Li Changsheng from Lijia Village, who is now the village chief. As for the matters concerning these two people, the information mentioned above is limited.
Gu Qianqing thought about going there secretly at night.
"You're scared to death when you go there during the day, but if you go there at night, you won't be scared to death."
Cheng Lin poured cold water on it.
Gu Qianqing packed her things, put on her hat and scarf, and put on her cotton shoes. It was still very cold here, and the temperature dropped sharply at night.
"It's so eye-catching during the day. Let's go there at night and maybe we can find something new."
Knowing where Yu Qiuyue lived, Gu Qianqing and Cheng Lin went straight to her house. Before they got closer, they saw a lot of people standing at the door of the house.
Cheng Lin watched from a distance, then slowly approached with Gu Qianqing, making sure that he could hear the sound clearly before moving any further, so as not to alert the enemy.
"Qiuyue, we are letting you leave here now for your own good. The village has contributed a sum of money, which is enough for you to raise your child."
Yu Qiuyue's attitude was firm, "I have already done what you asked me to do based on the friendship between neighbors in the past. I have also rejected people who come during the day. I will never say anything I shouldn't.
What do you want from me?"
"As long as the man surnamed Zhou is not sentenced for one day, people who want to convict him will come one after another. Can you make sure not to say it once, but can you make sure not to say it every time? Qiuyue, please promise the villagers one more thing.
The folks in Houli Village are all thinking of you."
Tears flowed from Yu Qiuyue's eyes, and she hugged her dependent child tightly. She was speechless and could only shake her head to express her feelings.
"Since she doesn't want to leave voluntarily, Chang Sheng, why don't we just drive her away? What nonsense are we talking to her about?"
Li Changsheng looked at his former people and felt a lot of intolerance, but the two people who came during the day once again sounded the alarm in his heart, and he could not delay it any longer.
Cruelly, "Qiuyue, I'll give you a few more days. If you haven't moved out yet, don't blame the folks for being ruthless. Let's go!"
Gu Qianqing and Cheng Lin rushed back in the dark again.
"I am now certain that Mr. Zhou's father is innocent." Cheng Lin said, "It's useless for you to believe. They look at the evidence."
Yu Qiuyue is a stubborn person. Ordinary methods cannot pry her mouth open and ask for useful things. However, the villagers in Lijia Village must be of the same opinion, and they will hug each other tightly when their interests are involved.
Gu Qianqing sighed and kicked off her shoes.
Cheng Lin stood up and said, "You should rest early."
"Walk slowly."
Gu Qianqing called Yu Hannian. The first time he called, no one answered. The second time he called, the man on the other end spoke.
Gu Qianqing expressed that she was very angry.
"I'm choosing a wedding dress for you."
Gu Qianqing lost her temper instantly, "Thank you for your hard work."
"How's it going?" Yu Hannian closed the book and asked someone to bring over a few sets that he liked. The person waiting next to him nodded and led them away.
"I ran all day in vain and my feet are hurting to death."
"Soak in hot water before going to bed," Yu Hannian said softly, "Do you think it can be done in a month now? Gu Qianqing, if you dare to say whether we will get married or not, you will be dead."
Gu Qianqing took the microphone further away, calmed down, and then promised, "I will definitely try my best. At least now I have confirmed that Mr. Zhou's father was wronged."
"Many people know this fact, but the key lies in how to obtain evidence."
Yu Hannian did not pour cold water on her, but said with concern, "Take your time in a month."
"Well, I was just thinking about why these people in the village wanted to tell the truth about Qiuyue and Mr. Zhou. The key here is to get the people in Lijia Village to tell the truth."
Gu Qianqing scratched her hair and said, "I think it's money, it's benefits. You said, those who benefit the villagers of Lijia Village are the enemies of the Zhou family."
"Okay, so what are you going to do now?"
"Of course we have to find out the truth first." Gu Qianqing said with a smile, "Do you think it is possible for Cheng Lin and I to pretend to be another group of people and bring more benefits to the villagers of Lijia Village?"
"Hasn't the person behind this thought about this?" Yu Hannian said, "The Zhou family can definitely use your method. As far as I know, Zhou Quan's younger brother went there once, but the result was still in vain.
return."
The method he finally came up with was defeated. Gu Qianqing went back to bed and said, "What should I do? I can't come here in vain?"
"There is always a way out."
"You can stand and talk without back pain."
After bringing the clothes over, Yu Hannian looked at them one by one, talking to her whether they were wearing something or not, "It's not like I have to ask you to help the Zhou family, you don't have to do it."
"It's not that I want to repay Mr. Zhou's kindness." Gu Qianqing owes Zhou Quan a lot, and now she wants to do something for him. Furthermore, Yu An'an still has contacts with the Zhou family, and this relationship cannot be broken.
, it is impossible for her to turn a blind eye to the affairs of the Zhou family.
"Anyway, I will definitely think of a way."
Gu Qianqing said with certainty.
"Then I wish you good luck." Yu Hannian thought these clothes were good. After seeing the actual items, he nodded and kept them all.
Gu Qianqing lay there for a while, her eyes lit up, "I really want to come up with one."
"Tell me about it, I'll give you some advice."
Yu Hannian was a little curious.
Gu Qianqing was afraid of being hit by him again, "Let's wait until I put it into practice. I'm going to bed, bye."
She did not go to bed immediately, but took a paper and pen and wrote and drew for half an hour. Then she stretched as if she was done and went back to bed to sleep.
The next day, I went for a run as usual. I don’t know if it was because of her lack of exercise. When she woke up in the morning, her muscles were a little sore, especially her calves. When she raised her feet, she felt so sore that it felt like Yu Han.
It's hard to stay in bed all day.
After breakfast, the two of them entered the village again, only to find that no one was in the house.
